The Chocolate Cinnamon Sugar Cruffins from The Secret Ingredient Catering sound delicious, and a game changer for sure.

Imagine a flaky, buttery croissant dough shaped into a muffin form, topped with a generous amount of cinnamon sugar. The cruffin is then filled with a rich, velvety chocolate, possibly a dark variety, adding a deep and indulgent flavor profile. The combination of the crispy, sweet cinnamon sugar topping and the soft, chocolatey center would create a delightful textural contrast.

Each bite would likely be a perfect balance of sweet and savory, with the warmth of cinnamon complementing the decadence of the chocolate. Then topped with a dusting of powdered sugar.

I recommend checking with The Secret Ingredient Catering directly because they won’t last long.

The new Blueberry Burnt Almond cake by The Secret Ingredient Catering is a delightful twist on their signature dessert.

This scrumptious creation combines the tender, moist texture of their Burnt Almond Cake with the sweet-tartness of fresh blueberries. The flavors can be described as:

- Sweet and tangy blueberries infused throughout the cake, adding a burst of juicy freshness
- The subtle nutty flavor of burnt almonds still present, but now complemented by the fruity undertones
- A hint of lemon zest to enhance the brightness of the blueberries
- The same smooth, creamy frosting, but now with a hint of blueberry sweetness
- A delicate crunch from the toasted almonds still adds texture and depth

This new Blueberry Burnt Almond cake is a masterful blend of flavors, perfect for spring and summer celebrations. The addition of fresh blueberries elevates the classic dessert to a new level of sweetness and sophistication, making it a must-try for anyone who loves blueberries and almond cake.

These rich, fudgy brownies are a chocolate lover's dream come true. The secret ingredient? A velvety caramel ganache that's swirled throughout the brownie, creating a sweet and salty contrast that elevates the flavor to new heights.
